About Liane Christianson

As owner since 2002. I enjoy coming to Kona 3-4 times a year to maintain my units. Always gives me an great 'excuse' to enjoy this incredibly beautiful island.

Liane Christianson purchased this condo in 2002

Why Liane Christianson chose Kailua-Kona

My first trip to The Big Island was when I was 21 years old and I fell in love. Never then did I think I would be fortunate to own oceanfront condos here.

What makes this condo unique

I go snorkeling with Sea Paradise EVERY time I come an sometimes two times. I love the early morning going over Saddle Road and the Botanical Gardens in Hilo are not to be missed. It is relaxing on the lanai watching the surfers. And I get all the books and magazine read that I don't have time for at home.

It's all about the VIEW!!

We have just returned from our trip to the Big Island. We spent our last 4 nights here at this condo. The condo is truly oceanfront and offers a large, private lanai with an unobstructed view of the ocean. And what a VIEW it is!! Everyday we saw surfers (the BEST surfing area on the island is right here!); green sea turtles; yellow tang reef fish; parasailers; paddle boarders; many passing boats; even a brightly lit cruise ship! We loved spending a lot of our time out here on the lanai!

The main bedroom has A/C. The king size bed is very comfy and you have that awesome VIEW as soon as you open your eyes! This condo is quite comfortable and well supplied. There are even beach chairs, a cooler, pool floats and beach umbrellas provided!

The covered parking on the ground floor of the complex is large and secure. The newly renovated pool and spa in the central courtyard is beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Liane was very prompt in replying to all inquiries and was extremely accommodating. We absolutely loved our stay here, especially that VIEW! We sincerely thank Liane for sharing her "home away from home" with us!

Owner's Response: Kathy and John,
It was a delight having you as guests. I am so happy you enjoyed my home away from home as much as I do when I am there. You are welcome back any time and would love to have you.

Great Views, BUT.. needs a lot of maintenance and updating

o 5 stars for location and views, right on the ocean. Nonstop entertainment with surfers, turtles, longboats, parasailers, kayaks. BBQs on the narrow grassy strip between condo and ocean. 3 miles south of Kona town, 2 miles north of Kona CC golf and shopping. Owner Liane accommodated our late departure, was responsive to emails. Loved the Big Island and Kona in general. Da Poke Shack for fresh Poke right in the building on main floor, a huge asset!

Bad Stuff (loses at least 3 stars for this lot):

o The complex is run by Castle Resorts (nothing to do with this units owner): The pool and hot tub were a no-go zone (not clean). There's no swimming beach, but that was ok for us.

o The Condo: This particular unit needs both maintenance and updating.

Bathrooms disgusting - dirty tile, tubs stained and rusted. Closets so full of beach toys, coolers, chairs, etc, that no room for belongings, and only 12 hangars so we had to buy. Boogie boards under beds, so no storage space there either. Not suitable for 4 adults, as no storage at all. No air conditioning (an old one that was too loud to use, so had to use floor fan). Kitchen poorly outfitted - one saucepan, frypan, cutting board, etc. No BBQ Tools!!??Toaster didn't work, had to replace that too. Kitchen cabinets old, drawer falls out. I'd be embarrassed to own and rent out this unit in this condition. Many others have been renovated in this complex that rent for similar rates, so it suffers in comparison. Enjoyed the Island, the location, but will rent elsewhere next time.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. I have guests returning year after year because of all the good stuff you mentioned. And thank you too for writing the items you noticed needed attention on the maintenance clipboard I provide inside the kitchen cupboard. My maintenance crew, as arranged, had already notified me about those items.
I am a bit surprised to hear you had issues with the pool and hot tub area because it was closed for a number of months last year for a complete remodel. Everything was replaced including the decking. I will be sure to take a closer look at that area to make sure it is getting well maintained.
The condo is mostly rented to persons like yourself with only 2 guests, so yes, there are items stored in the second bedroom which is seldom occupied. Guests do buy toys they don’t take home that end up there: beach umbrellas, beach chairs, beach mats, boogies boards, pool noodles etc. and a cooler I provide for guest use. Many guests are happy to have these items to use while there. I do put boogie boards under the beds, as it’s very narrow storage for guests. Twice a year I clean out extra items and donate them to a local non-profit that cares for the feral cats by feeding and neutering them.
I advertise my unit as a 1 bedroom and book mostly for 2 guests like you did. I tell guests booking for more than 2 guests that the 2nd bedroom has less storage, is on the street side not the water side, and can sometimes be noisy. I only charge $10/night for each guest over 2 which are very often children. I don’t lock off the 2nd bedroom so that it can be used to store guests items like suitcases, OR if 2 friends are traveling together they can also use the guest bed.
This complex is an older building and units were not built with central air. I do have a window unit in the master bedroom which because of 3 large sliding doors that open connecting all the rooms, (except the 2nd bedroom) the window A/C does an adequate job when needed. The window A/C does make some noise but my experience is that the noise is drowned out by the surf being so close and so LOUD.
Thank you for your input AND for writing the items you noticed needed attention on the maintenance clipboard I provide. It was much appreciated. Mahalo! ~Liane

Beautiful Condo right on the water!

Right on the water, right on the price. This all you'll need for a fantastic Kona getaway. The condo is complete with stunning views of the water below and incredible sunsets. Turtles play in the water and even sit on the rocks just a few steps from the building. Amazing! You have a full kitchen, BBQs by the water, Air Conditioner and a fully appointed room to make you feel right at home. Nice pool, hot tub and even Da Poke Shack! This will be your favorite Hawaiian destination just like it is for us.

Paradise

Kona Bali Kai 308 is heaven on earth. The amenities inside match the beauty and serenity outside. Inside you have everything you have at home; well stocked kitchen with all necessary appliances and basic condiments: salt, pepper, sugar, seasoning salt, things you need to immediately cook dinner if you so wish. There is also the washer/dryer so you don't have to go home with a suitcase full of dirty laundry. Inside you have the luxury of staying on the lanai and taking in a breathtaking view of the water, sun, and sky. Each morning we got to observe green sea turtles in the water and on the shore. The graceful palms were filled with chattering birds. I learned all about them from the extensive library of books about the island that are available on the coffee table inside. I so enjoyed reading about the history of old Kona. One of the best services right outside your door is the Kona Trolley. We didn't rent a car as we had toured on previous visits. The trolley provided cheap easy transportation from one end of Kona to the other. I can't say enough about the good time we had on this vacation spent in #308, Kona Bali Kai!

It was great having you and loved hearing you had a great time in my home away from home. I never get bored with it myself and I get to go lots.
Would love to have you back again anytime.
Liane

We would definitely come back

Well appointed, terrific private lanai, host very responsive. Mattress is a bit firm - good for my partner, not so much for me. The air conditioner is very loud and is set on a timer so we woke up every couple hours to turn it back on. Neither of these would keep us from staying here again. We felt very much at home.

Loved the view from lanai, partial updates, nice linens, but a bit tired.

The view from the lanai was fantastic! We spent all of our time, while at the condo, on the lanai. Surfers, birds, fish, turtles, beautiful palm trees, and sunsets all from our loungers. Because you are on the 3rd floor, you on't see anything or anybody in front of your view. All linens appear to be new. Furniture in living area is nice. The master bath sink is updated. But the tubs, guest bath, and kitchen counters need work. Having the icemaker was great. We didn't use the A/C as the breeze was adequate, and the A/C was quite loud. The covered parking was appreciated for shade.

My Hawaii Vacation Rental is at the Kona Bali Kai Condo complex, 2 1/2 miles south of the quaint town of Kailua-Kona which has numerous shops and restaurants that line the beach. This is unit 308 but I also have an identical oceanfront unit which is VRBO listing #392388 in the same complex. Check that listing number to see if your dates are available, if this unit is booked.

Within walking distance only 1/2 mile north of the condo is Alii Gardens Outdoor Marketplace where you will find local arts and crafts and local farmers produce. Great place for shaved ice!

Right next door to the condo is a well known Banyans surfing beach where local surf, boogie board, long board surf and even do kayak surfing. From sun up to sun down it is fun to watch the surfers from the condo lanai. Two miles south of the condo is Kahaluu Beach Park which is one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Fed by a fresh water spring, up to 10 million gallons per day. These shallow waters are almost always calm, with colorful corals, rock formations, and 100+ species of fish. Swim with schools of colorful fish & green sea turtles in protected waters; don't forget your underwater camera.

Golf: Kona Country Club provides the perfect environment for golf. Situated in scenic Keauhou just 4 miles away from Kona Bali Kai my condo location in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kona Country Club features spectacular ocean and mountain views, excellent facilities and friendly service. Beautiful Hualalai Mountain protects us from the strong winds. One can always expect pleasant sunny skies and gentle ocean breezes. We are open to the public and have senior discounts.

Kona Country Club is conveniently located near hotels and condos. We feature a fully stocked pro shop, driving range, locker rooms, putting and chipping greens. Experience dazzling sunsets while dining at the Vista Restaurant serving Hawaiian and American cuisine for breakfast and lunch. The Vista Restaurant is also available for banquets.
